Strong winds swept across Texas Tuesday, starting with a low pressure system high in the sky racing down from the Panhandle, enveloping Central and North Texas and as far south as Corpus Christi and speeding up the coast toward Southeast and East Texas.

Thursday, it dwindles further to 60 percent and to 50 percent for Friday. By Saturday, it falls to 30 percent, he said.

Rainfall totals could reach from 2 inches to 4 inches through the remainder of the week, Mogged said.

Residents should be mindful of a flash flood watch through today, he said.

Even if rain has stopped, enough of it could have fallen into watersheds feeding streams and bayous, which could swell out of its banks.

On the plus side, enough rain could have fallen into watersheds that flow into Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend reservoirs, helping to boost their lake levels to provide plentiful water through the dry months of summer, Mogged said.
